IDW2024 Gender Panel: Navigating Gender and Water Challenges Globally

Recognizing the urgent need for concerted efforts in addressing the intersectionality of gender and water issues, our International Development Week 2024 panel on ‘Navigating Gender and Water Challenges Globally’ shed light on initiatives taken by organizations and experts from across the globe. The gendered impact of lack of safe and accessible water poses a serious equality issue. Thus, the focus of this panel was on providing insights into global and local commitments on gender and water, positive and sustainable transformations advocating for gender-inclusive water management strategies including WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) priorities, youth perspectives on water and gender, women’s water leadership and mitigating the disproportionate impacts of water-related challenges on women and girls.
